This application discloses training of a classification system for an assisted or automated driving system of a vehicle. A processing system can label sensor measurement data collected by sensors mounted in the vehicle with classifications, which can include a type of an object associated with the sensor measurement data and a confidence level of the classification. A training system can utilize the classifications labeled to the sensor measurement data to train a classification graph utilized by the classification system. The training system can select a node in a classification graph based, at least in part, on a classification labeled to sensor measurement data. The training system can compare the sensor measurement data to matchable data in the selected node, and modify the classification graph based, at least in part, on differences between the sensor measurement data and the matchable data in the selected node.
